Xiaofang Wang Lanterman

As a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with a Ph.D. in Family Science from Univ. of Maryland at College Park, I work from family systems perspective with individuals (7+), couples, and families. I treat trauma (EMDR), anxiety, cross-cultural adaptation, parenting, family of origin, communication, and relationship issues. As an international student from China in 2003, I enjoy working with clients with international and diverse backgrounds. I speak both English and Mandarin.

I enjoy connecting with clients from diverse racial and cultural background by being curious, open-minded, warm and kind. I am trained in EMDR, emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT), somatic therapy, CBT, play therapy, family systems, Gottman techniques, premarital counseling, parenting education, etc. I integrate different approaches based on clients' individualized needs at different stages by listening to and collaborating with them.

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you. I will provide psychoeducation, bring in members in your system, and support you to practice in the sessions.
